Rev. Laura Gillom

Rev. Laura Gillom is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Mississippi. She brings 15 years of psychotherapy experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, addictions, and life transitions. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she treats people with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Her approach is flexible. She adapts sessions to each person's needs and avoids labeling or stereotyping. Sessions often focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on building clearer communication and healthier coping skills.

Laura has worked with people who have experienced many kinds of trauma and emotional abuse. She helps clients talk through painful memories and build tools to manage strong emotions. When anger or grief get in the way of daily life, she looks for concrete ways to reduce intensity and improve relationships.

Parents and caregivers who are worn down by compassion fatigue can find strategies to restore energy and set boundaries. She also supports people facing relationship strain, guilt, shame, isolation, or major life changes by focusing on what can be changed now.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Together with each client she creates a plan aimed at realistic goals. People who are ready to make changes are offered steady, compassionate support as they try new ways of coping.

How these approaches work in online sessions

Rev. Laura Gillom commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy when helping people manage strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new, practical responses to stress, anxiety, and anger. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate a person from the problem so they can rewrite unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That plan can change over time as progress is made and needs shift.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is needed. It also lets people use therapy while they manage work, caregiving, or other daily responsibilities without rearranging as much of their schedule.
